National Reading Month

Did you know that March is National Reading Month? Well, in honor of that and my current drive to read books, I will start a series about books I recently read and finished.

Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual by Michael Pollan

Thoughts:

This is an easy read. With only 139 pages and each page having less than 200 words (give or take), you’ll finish this book within a day.

The book is literally a handbook on how to eat and how to do it the right way. It is divided into three chapters with titles that are based on the author’s conclusion from the massive research he did for his previous book and within each chapter are rules on how to accomplish each chapter’s premise.

Chapter 1 – Eat food (What should I eat?)

Chapter 2 – Mostly plants (What kind of food should I eat?)

Chapter 3 – Not too much (How should I eat?)

What I got out of it:

Rule #10: Avoid foods that are pretending to be something they’re not.
